Good evening Gentleman, I understand that there will be a party held in the honor of the brave crews. The Party in all of its wisdom has decided to honor our small group..
Special Instructions: ALL NOW USING HUNTED RULES AND CHARTS and all boats have had their deck gun removed
U-219 Nachtdieb (XB) - Keyboy Will always be on a replenishment patrol and will be on minelaying duties as well, unless patrol is in the Atlantic.
Everyone is now in Bergen, so normal transit boxes are used. Gentlemen, I won't take up much of your time, as I know that you are preparing to get underway. Please be aware that all of the steam and electric torpedoes have been upgraded (All types of torpedo have a dud rate of 1 on D6).
All U-boats have three BOLD decoys they can use on patrol (BOLD decoy. German U-boats may attempt to decoy the Allied ASW forces by releasing a BOLD canister. Only one BOLD canister may be used per encounter, however, it may be combined with exceeding test depth. The decision to use BOLD occurs before the escort detection roll is made. It gives a temporary -1 to the detection roll. If using the optional rule "Variable Escort Quality" BOLD does NOT work against Veteran or Elite Escorts. The decision to use it occurs before Escort Quality is rolled.)
All U-Boats now have a NAXOS radar system installed. (-1 drm if an aircraft encounter occurs)
U-Boat Loads
Type VII: Forward: 6 x G7e FaT, 4 x G7a FaT, 2 x G7es "zaunkönig" Aft: 2 x G7e FaT
Type IX boats: 10 x G7a FaT, 10 x G7e FaT, 2 x G7es "zaunkönig"
Type IX D-2: 10 x G7a FaT, 10 x G7e FaT, 4 x G7es "zaunkönig"
Type XB: 3 x G7e FaT, 2 x G7es "zaunkönig"
From this standard load, you may go up or down in the mix of types by 4 torpedoes of your choosing, but may not take extra "Falke" torpedoes due to limited availability.
Historic Notes July 1944
Atlantic
FAA attacks on "Tirpitz" - Barracuda torpedo bombers from Home Fleet carriers "Formidable", "Indefatigable" and "Furious" attempted to hit "Tirpitz" in Altenfiord on the 17th, but failed, partly because of defensive smokescreens. U-boats were sent to attack the carrier force, but over a period of four days, RAF Coastal Command sank three in the Northern Transit Area. The RAF also sank a fourth U-boat off southwest Norway.
Monthly Loss Summary - 4 British, Allied and neutral ships of 29,000 tons in the Atlantic from all causes - 7 U-boats including one each by task groups of US escort carriers "Wake Island", "Croatan" and "Card" off the Canaries, Madeira and Nova Scotia respectively
Europe
U-boat Operations against the Normandy Beachhead - Those U-boats that did get through the Channel defences sank and damaged a number of ships, but six were lost to warship patrols: 5th - After attacking a convoy off Normandy, "U-390" was sunk by destroyer "Wanderer" and frigate "Tavy". 6th - In a convoy attack off Beachy Head, "U-678" was lost to Canadian destroyers "Ottawa" and "Kootenay" and British corvette "Statice". 18th - Frigate "Balfour" on patrol southeast of Start Point sank "U-672". 21st - Escorting frigates "Curzon" and Ekins" sank "U-212" off Beachy Head. 26th - As "U-214" tried to lay mines off Start Point, she was sunk by frigate "Cooke" of the 3rd EG. 31st - "U-333" was destroyed to the west of the Scilly Islands by sloop "Starling" and frigate "Loch Killin" of the 2nd EG using the new Squid. This marked the first success with this ahead-throwing A/S weapon which fired three large mortar bombs. Three more U-boats were sunk in the Bay of Biscay; one each to RAF and RAAF aircraft and the third mined off Brest. Allied air raids on Germany were also becoming more effective and four more were destroyed at Kiel and Bremen.
Monthly Loss Summary 8 British, Allied and neutral ships of 19,000 tons in UK waters.
